PANCRAS, (Middlesex) on the N. W. side of London, in the highway to Kentish-Town. Its Ch. is one of the prebends of St.
Paul's, of which cathedral some call it the Mother, it being thought to be as old as that Ch. even in the R. of Q. Eliz.
when it is represented as weatherbeaten, and standing alone without any company, or comfort, tho' it had formerly many
buildings about it. In its Ch.-yard lie many Roman-catholicks.
